3/19/06 Brewers Split-Squad Day, at S.F. (Giants Audio)

[Mass Haas]

Let's in-game-thread two!

 

The 2:05 PM game in Scottsdale features Dave Bush vs. Matt Morris.

 

Sunday and Spring Training -- for many, not a reason to chain ourselves to the PC, especially if the weather is cooperating.

 

This game will be available via MLB.com audio (the San Francisco feed).

 

With the Brewer / White Sox game available via MLB.TV for many, this game will be in need of a play-by-play volunteer. How about at least for the early innings, as we're all excited about Dave Bush's spring thus far. Could be a longshot shout-out, but our Brewerfan faithful rarely lets us down.

 

Day off Monday -- expect several more assignments to minor league camp after this, the final split-squad day of the spring.

I suppose I could do the PBP here if there are no other volunteers.

[DHonks]

nice, maybe Gallardo and Inman get an inning

[sheetswannabe]

Rivera, Single, Lee scores, Cruz to 3rd

One more reason to dump Chad.

[sheetswannabe]

2IP 0ER, cuz of the error. Bush is lookin great this spring training.

[Mass Haas]

Nelson Cruz 2-for-2 -- his spring OPS was 1.205 prior to those hits -- if you're going to have a small sample, it might as well be off-the-charts!

[ja002h]

Cruz, Lee, and Bush are all smokin hot.

[Mass Haas]

Awesome job, undertow, hope you're enjoying the broadcast thus far...

I was in Arizona all last week so I am not sure if it was discussed but his bomb in Scottsdale was EPIC. I was in the right field grass area and when he hit it I thought it would wind up in medium cf due to the monstrous height. Instead it just kept going up and up and eventually carried just to the right or OVER the 430 ft (30 ft high) cf fence. It looked like, from my angle that it cleared the wall but I can say for certain that it WOULD have cleared it if it would have needed to. It was monstrous.

[sheetswannabe]

Bush is STILL pitching?

Edit: If so what would his era be now? 14 IP 2 ER

[undertow67]

Bush is still pitching, probably done after 5.

[Mass Haas]

Linden, single, Von Schell gunned down at 3rd by Cruz

 

Nelson Cruz is Superman!

[ja002h]

The thought of Cruz learning to play CF makes me very warm and fuzzy inside.

[sheetswannabe]

Rivera, 2 run homer

Im guessing Moeller wont be around too long this season. Well at least hoping. Even if he hits .200 at least its not the same person whos done it 2 years in a row.

[brettac1]

If so what would his era be now? 14 IP 2 ER

 

About 1.29 or so.

haha, I'm gonna have to agree with you, him and jenks are a pretty scary center-right side of the outfield.

[molitor fan]

Krynzel in the game? Hmm, interesting, I did not realize he was back already....

[AJAY]

I know it means absolutely nothing, but it is nice to finally win a game after a long time. Too bad I never heard of half the players the Brewers and Giants threw out there.

[BCZF]

Going to listen to this one in the archives.. Nice wins for the crew..

[undertow67]

Thanks. I'm mostly a lurker here, but this site does such an awesome job of keeping me informed of what's happening with the Brewers. (and MLB in general) I'm happy to do what little I can to help.

Are the Brewers the best baseball team?

 

This question came from my son (age 5) after looking at this thread.

 

He's a good kid.
